" Many Caribbean islanders have a hearty aversion to shorts worn anywhere but on the beach. For evenings she'll need a couple of pretty dresses’ and. one fairly fancy outfit for the Captain's dinner - the one formal occasion. . Also, one night is usually reserved for some kind of a costume party and it helps to come prepared with an idea and a few props.

Pretty young gitls on their own can be harassed by groups of young toughs and it can be an unpleasant experience. It is very easy to miss the boat's sailing if you're wandering off on your own. It is almost impossible for the crew to keep tabs on all departing passengers but ifa whole bus load is missing they'll know it. Although Mom will consider the male passengers and crew “dangerous,” her daughter sure won't!
